They got up and walked to the front door when the doorbell rang. Then Sam looked through the peephole and smiled as she opened the door.
"Hi guys."
"Hi Sam we have the drinks. We thought that we could leave them here, if that is ok with you?" Daniel said.
"Sure, bring them in."
"Thanks" then he walked back out to his SUV.
"Ok guys, give me a hand here will ya?" then they all clapped.
"Very funny" as he opened the trunk of his wagon.
They saw Sarah, in her car with Cassie, get out and help Daniel with the drinks. Teal'c and Jonas helped as soon as they got out. Three trips later, beer, wine and sodas were all in the house. While Sam made them all hot chocolate she had an idea.
"Have you managed to do all your Christmas shopping?"
"Yep, all I need to do is wrap everything." Cassie said.
"What about you guys; finished shopping?"
"Yes, just like Cassie. We just need to wrap everything." Daniel said.
"Ok; do you have wrapping paper with you?" she asked as she passed drinks to them.
"Yes" they all said.
"Ok; Jack can you take the guys into the game room while Sarah and Cassie go and get they're shopping."
"Come on guys, let's go and have a game of pool" they walked down to the game room.
"Ok, you two go and get your bags" they put down their mugs and went to put their boots on and then quickly went outside to get their bags.
"Cassie, you can use my office and Sarah you can use the living room. When you are finished and the presents are either in the stockings or under the tree, then meet me in the games room." they grabbed their hot drinks and went into separate directions.
Sam went down to see what the guys were up to. An hour and a half later they left to head home. Sam put the lasagne into the oven to heat up for their dinner. They ate in the living room while watching a Christmas movie that was on TV. Since they had driven Sam's car all day, Jack called a cab to go home. Jack kissed Sam good night when the cab arrived. Sam watched him go before closing and locking the door and turning the shield on and then went to bed herself.
The next morning they all meet up at the coffee shop before going to the SGC for the day. Over the next two weeks SG1 all went out on missions. Sam dreams had been romantic ones about Jack and four of them had been about SG teams that had been off world not knowing that they were heading into danger and that one or two of them wouldn't be coming back alive, if Sam didn't warn them.
By the twenty-second, all of the SG teams were on Earth. It was late in the afternoon and Sam was in the control room finishing a full diagnostic on the gate when it started spinning. Walter hit the alarm button and the SFs ran into the gate room as Hammond walked down the steps and Jack arrived.
"I thought all teams were back sir" Jack asked.
"Yes they are Colonel" then the gate whooshed into life and Sam closed the iris. She was typing away on the key board and then smiled.
"Getting a signal; it's the Tok'ra sir" Sam said, turning, with a grin.
"Open the iris."
The iris opened and they walked down to the gate room to greet their visitor.
"Stand down" Hammond said to the SFs and they lowered their guns and walked out of the gate room.
"Merry Christmas Dad" Jacob smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Sam, Jack, George" He said as he reached the bottom on the ramp and then gave Sam a hug and shook both Jack and Hammond's hands.
"So how long are you in town for Dad?" Sam asked.
"Two weeks" Sam smiled.
"Good, Mark and the family will be pleased you can stay that long."
"Same here."
"So, what do you want to do Dad?"
"Well, a hot shower and I was wondering if I could use your wagon Sam so I can do some Christmas shopping."
"Of course Dad. What would you like for dinner tonight?"
"I'll pick something up. Jack will you be joining us?"
"Yes, thanks."
"Ok good; when are Mark and the family arriving?"
"Tomorrow afternoon" he nodded.
"I'll be in my lab Dad."
"Of course."
"Dad" and he chuckled.
"What, that is where I go to first when I am looking for you."
"True"
"See you tonight George."
"Sure, we will talk then."
"Ok" they left the gate room and went their separate ways. Twenty minutes later Jacob walked in to Sam's lab where she was working on a device. He noticed Jack was there as well, typing away on his laptop.
"How's it going?" Sam turned around and smiled.
"Good, I'll be here for the next two hours and I have a ride" she smiled and looked over at Jack and he nodded.
"Ok; Jack what are you doing?"
"My report Jacob; Sam has been blackmailing me" he raised an eye brow and looked at Sam, who was blushing and smiling at the same time.
